Phoenix	I found a nice riddle, which supposedly, Einstein created. I doubt that. Doesn't matter though, it was still entertaining I needed pen and paper to beat it, and I guess you will too. Don't cheat! Riddle There are 5 houses painted in different colors in a row on a street. In each house lives a person with a different nationality. The 5 owners each drink a certain type of beverage, smoke a certain brand of cigar, and keep a certain pet. No owners have the same pet, smoke the same brand of cigar, nor drink the same beverage. What nationality is the person who owns the fish? Hints: The Brit lives in the red house. The Swede keeps dogs as pets. The Dane drinks tea. The green house is on the left of the white house. The green house's owner drinks coffee. The person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds. The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill. The person living in the center house drinks milk. The Norwegian lives in the leftmost house. The person who smokes Blends lives next to the one who keeps cats. The person who keeps the horse lives next to the person who smokes Dunhill. The owner who smokes Bluemasters drinks beer. The German smokes Prince. The Norwegian lives next to the blue house. The person who smokes Blends has a neighbor who drinks water.

HoboBen	Hah, that was really good! I've solved it, assuming that one of them has to have a fish. -=-=- blog \| work \| code \| more code

Phoenix	This is the answer: > Reveal 🔎 The German owns the fish (Yes, obviously one person owns the fish!)

Afr0	The German smokes Prince. Hey, that's not fair! I'm a Norwegian, and I smoke Prince! Edit: Besides, I always thought Germans only smoked 'cheap' brands only available in Germany? At least they don't sell Prince in any of the Lidl stores I've seen in Norway... -=-=- Afr0 Games Project Dollhouse on Github - Please fork!

blanko1324	I did this a while ago. I got it in an email that claimed only a very low percentage of people could actually solve it. I doubt that claim though...it just takes time. -=-=- My Twitter
